"I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr. AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity I get!," Fiorenza allegedly wrote in an email in May, according to the complaint.
The email was sent to the unidentified head of an educational institution in Palm Beach County, where Trump has his primary residence. In June, the woman allegedly sent another email threatening Trump, who is seeking reelection in 2024, and his son, the complaint said.Political violence and threats in a polarized United States have risen in recent years. A Reuters report released earlier this month showed such violence was at its worst since the 1970s.
